Area girls volleyball teams affected by injuries

First Academy is not the only area girls volleyball team that has battled injuries this season. As district tournaments loom next week, we look at four other teams that have been affected:

Harmony

Senior setter Genesis Viera, a Tulsa commit, played a huge role in Harmony's run to the state semifinals in 2011. She recently returned after injuring her thumb but is still not 100 percent healthy. The Longhorns have lost several starters for long stretches because of injury but seem to be getting healthier.

Lake Howell

A once-promising season hit a bump in September when middle blocker Kaley Scanlon sprained her left ankle for the third consecutive season. She has not played since then.

Orangewood Christian

Team captain Kimberly Ferguson severely sprained her left ankle last weekend and is questionable for the remainder of the season. The loss hurts the Rams, who entered this weekend with two losses.

The Wildcats were served a huge loss in September when emotional leader and sophomore setter Glenna Miller tore several ligaments in her left knee during pregame warmups. She is out for the season. Setter was the one position where Winter Park lacked depth.
